Yang Zhengxin's calligraphy, like his painting, advocates that while encouraging new art forms, the unique pen and ink principles of Chinese calligraphy and painting must be followed. As the saying goes, keep integrity and innovate, and get carried away.
Yang Zhengxin is first of all a painter. Compared with traditional calligraphers, his calligraphy has richer expressions. When he combines the most fashionable and interesting painting language with the most serious and traditional text, the ancient Chinese characters become vivid and bright. "Drawing" words is a kind of "returning to a baby" of "clumsy" and "Tao".
The birth and evolution of Chinese characters is a process from single symbolization to abstraction. To this day, except for a few Chinese characters, it is difficult for us to directly observe the original meaning given by the glyph itself. Yang Zhengxin uses more exaggerated line twists, ink shades, structural changes and frame combinations to concretely present the abstract ideas and inner essence of Chinese characters with contemporary aesthetics that are highly characteristic of Chinese paintings. This is a rich and rich style that can arouse widespread resonance. Emotional artistic expression.
The predecessors often said that "everyone's writing is old", but Yang Zhengxin is "everyone's writing is new". He is not afraid of breaking the boundaries of traditional calligraphy, abstract painting and performance art. It is this kind of brave exploration that gives his calligraphy the wonderful meaning of "forgetting its form and tracing its shape, expressing its meaning and getting its meaning". (Yang Yongping)
